Background technology
Smart card is well-known in this technology.The size of typical case's smart card is similar to credit card, and it readily fits in the wallet.Contact type intelligent card (CSC) is with the difference of tradition " contact " credit card, it comprises embedded superincumbent processor and storer, and comprises radio responder (radio transponder) and communicate by letter so that realize radio frequency (RF) between smart card and smart card terminal.Providing of processor makes in the functional and security that provides on the described card more than the functional and security that can obtain on (for example) magnetic stripe type credit card traditionally.
Along with the research and development of smart card, also developed many and the available functional application program that matches smart card.Example comprises secure access card, personal identification card and this type of is stuck in the use (wherein use this type of to block and replace traditional magnetic stripe card ticket) in the transport field recently.
Use smart card (especially CSC) to comprise the following fact as the advantage of ticket: the comparable legacy card of smart card is handled transaction more apace and is updated stored in data (about 300 milliseconds) on the CSC, and therefore uses smart card to improve the convenience and the speed of transporting of obtaining some seconds that will spend in the verifier by reducing originally ticket is inserted into.In addition, owing to can discern the user, thereby also can under the situation of having things stolen or losing, cancel this card.Other benefit comprises to be convenient to " supplement with money " for ticket.This type of advantage makes that have increasing forwarder mechanism to change into uses smart card to come ticket checking all over the world.
In this type of ticket checking field, provide the smart card ticket to the user, in case and the user enter transportation system (for example, subway or bus system), smart card terminal just can read this card, includes many elements hereinafter described in the described smart card terminal: the example of showing this layout among Fig. 1.In this arranged, user's (for example) showed its CSC (100) on bus.Described card will block relevant information therewith and be transferred to clamping and be subjected to device (CAD) (110) by connect RF antenna (105) that (for example RS232 connects) be coupled via hardwired.CAD (110) comprises RF transfer interpreter (110a) and card Drive Module (110b).Then, will continue to be delivered to CSC terminal (115) by the information that CAD reads, in described CSC terminal, the information that receives from CSC be handled.Traditional CSC terminal and CSC interaction model comprise the CSC terminal and are directly connected to general purpose I SO-14443 clamping and are subjected to device (CAD).Therefore, require the CSC terminal to handle CSC on " driver " level: smart card terminal comes to connect with card Jie by using the specific low-level command of selected smart card techniques, and requires detail file and the data structure that smart card terminal is understood and management is preserved on card.This all hardware peripherals of crossing range request CSC terminal management terminal (for example, screen, keyboard, LED, hummer, car door tripod or gate flap, specie mechanism, bank note mechanism) and management CSC reciprocation, described CSC reciprocation comprises: the card of having determined to show which kind of type; Availability to CSC is carried out checking; Handle the CSC data; Upgrade CSC; Usually conclude the business to the report of high-level computing machine with periodic intervals (for example when bus turns back to the station).In addition, ideally, to each different manufacturer of transportation system's supply equipment will guarantee he the CSC terminal can with handle various types of CSC to the identical mode of other all manufacturers' of described system supply equipment CSC terminal be the same so that make user on the total system experience.Yet, seldom can reach this effect.
In addition, (for example very closely operate each other in a plurality of transportation systems, in circle, county or vicinity, national boundaries) situation under or in other situation of politics that exist to realize " interoperability " or commercial hope, known specific transportation supplier (promptly, the transportation supplier who has the licence of in this geographic area, managing) will produce system by using standard, and the second transportation supplier to produce system by using by second standard that provides at the selected manufacturer of this embodiment by manufacturer's research and development.In most of the cases, the standard of being researched and developed by a supplier does not conform to the standard of being researched and developed by second supplier, and therefore provides the ticket checking solution that can use multiple transportation solution or the solution not a duck soup of crossing over the geographical frontier is provided.Cause having published generic transport communication language standard (for example IOPTA) towards the research and development that address this problem.Yet, do not have jurisdictional world wide standards body because do not exist in countries in the world, so these so-called " standards " spread rapidly in Europe, Asia and America now.In addition, because provide the council of these standards often to handle by terminal provisioning merchant's representative, and,, and do not provide any general service level interface facility so described standard tends to concentrate on rudimentary CSC terminal and card because available Card Type is varied.
Many countries have realized that the advantage that combined haulage system is provided.For instance, in another known standard effort of Britain, the franchised dealer of public transport person in charge, bus operating personnel and UK railway network gathered in 1998, formed combined transportation smart card tissue (ITSO), the core missions of this tissue are the transportation proposals that proposes based on multi-modal smart card.ITSO publishes another " standard " and proposes ITSO special use secure access module (SAM) providing effort aspect the solution to comprise for interoperability issue.ITSO SAM aims to provide a kind of common mechanism, by described common mechanism: (i) can verify the authenticity of the CSC that observes ITSO and integrated; And (ii) can intactly realize the transmission of CSC transaction to the high-level computing machine.Yet ITSO is the another standard in the middle of multiple published " standard " only, and this moment, ISTO SAM was not given in interoperability solution between the multiple smartcard types.
Therefore, still need to provide a kind of integrated morphology of utilizing the benefit of contact type intelligent card, its (i) can use on interoperability ground between multiple different CSC type and/or transportation system, even (ii) under the situation of existence, also provide identical user to experience, and (iii) will rise to business-level from the card rank at the interface of CSC from the CSC terminal of different manufacturers.

By using this kind hierarchical interrogation sequence, can be fast and determine should be used for carrying out the correct interface language of subsequent communications exactly with this smart card.
Receiving CSC from antenna 105 when just attempting the notice of communicating by letter of initial and transport establishment, USM is configured to inquire CSC so that determine should be subsequent communications to use which kind of specific card interface module.This inquiry is to carry out on the basis of a plurality of inquiries.At first, use the response generation of standard ISO 14443 " poll " order to observe the identifier of the manufacturer of ISO.The further analysis of described response is convenient to select the particular card type of manufacturer.In case known the type of card, just impliedly (go up programming and canned data) and known it and support the ability of multiple application program simultaneously according to USM, also known the structure of application identification symbol.For single-application cards, select the card interface module that is associated at once.For multiple utility program type card,, just can select the specific card interface module that is associated in case retrieve the application identification symbol.If, do not refuse this card with " not supporting " so with the identifier associated modules that retrieves.Can write down this situation separately at the part of report structure, so that in the analysis that provides some day about the needs of the extra card interface module that will incorporate in following some day in the future.
Generic logical card interface module 200C presents the service level view of generic logical card, and it had not both relied on selected particular card technology, does not also rely on the file that is stored on any Card Type of supporting and the detailed structure of data.
Various data files, label and the index of the structurally associated connection of each Card Type application program, file and data field everywhere of being supported is in charge of and is distributed in to the card integrating engine 200B assembly of USM.The card integrating engine is guaranteed only to submit compatible data set to card during smart card " transaction ".
The security service 200D assembly of USM is implemented in tamperproof hardware security access modules (SAM) ideally, and on technology and service level, carry out with the Card Type of being supported and carry out necessary all cryptographic functions of reciprocation, thereby (i) guarantee valid data before writing card by " sealing " cryptographically, and (ii) verify existing cryptographic sealing and present to the CSC terminal through the business datum of the password authentification of integrated and authenticity aspect so that will be.By its tamper-proof capabilities of SAM, SAM also provides safe storage to carry out the position of the required secret digital keys of cryptographic algorithm.To understand, hardware security access modules (SAM) can realize Password Management and secure key storage simultaneously, and to carry out reciprocation with the smart card of observing various criterion, described standard comprises IOPTA, ITSO and RIS-300 etc.
To understand, in card integrating engine 200B, security service 200D and the generic logical card interface module each all is configured to communicate with the irrelevant language of specific CSC, and wherein order and Content of Communication are then translated to carry out reciprocation with CSC by suitable card interface module 200A.Therefore, the available functional level of USM is greater than carrying out the obtainable level in interactive some place with CSC traditionally.USM realizes functional universal programming, describedly functionally only is translated into the specific reciprocation language of CSC constantly in reciprocation.
USM 200 can be through further programming to present data according to any required industrial standard (for example, CEN EN-1545:IOPTA) to CSC terminal 205.Interface between USM and the CSC terminal is implemented by " serial " link that uses the supporting industry standard communication protocol usually, and described agreement comprises RS-232 and USB-2.To understand, all CSC application programs are all utilized the CSC terminal, and wherein the CSC terminal hardware functionality level supporting or provide depends on application-specific.For example in the ticket checking environment, the CSC terminal comprises usually: screen, so that realize to user's display command; The lever controller, it will be activated when showing authorized CSC; With one or more LED, it will so that the indication user can advance maybe should be waited for through activating.In other application program, may not use the CSC terminal to control lever, and therefore not support this kind lever controller.
In general, (i) specific card interface of USM adapts to the various card techniques supported and according to the data structure of the standard of being supported; (ii) block integrating engine and be mapped to card level instruction with service level is functional, the data of guaranteeing to write every card are inherent compatible; (iii) security service module is set up the integrated and authenticity of transaction; No matter and (iv) which kind of system, technology or standard are associated with the card that is shown, the generic logical card interface all presents common business level interface to the CSC terminal.Therefore will understand, the embodiment of Fig. 2 introduces the generic logical card platform, and it is convenient to manage with the card particular data that general " logic card " management interface 205C comes replaced C SC terminal to carry out.Structure of the present invention has also been introduced security service module, and it provides Card Type Jie who supports to some extent with institute to connect necessary cryptographic service and secure key storage according to the standard of being supported prevailingly.
Fig. 3 shows that the USM with Fig. 2 further expands to the degree that platform becomes self to be enough to as the basis of further service level processing (will about graphic being described) subsequently.In this embodiment of the present invention, USM 300 is included in the assembly that exists among the USM of Fig. 2, but comprises communication capacity extraly.
An example is to have added communication module 300A." communication " module 300A is multi-modal, wherein comprises " local " radio communication (realizing by the mode that 802.11 * WiFi wireless transceiver for example is provided) and " overall situation " radio communication (realizing by the mode that GSM or GPRS wireless transceiver for example are provided).By this kind communication means is covered among the USM, can be under real time environment the information of collecting on indivedual USM (be for example changeed the CSC terminal of locating this locality of continuing, between CSC validator and bus driver's control desk) in reciprocity USM, and change the high-level computing machine (for example, railway station computing machine) of the long range positioning that continues.Therefore, the CSC terminal can communicate it with external network or system without any need for interface.This compares with the prior art embodiment is favourable, and the prior art embodiment only can provide this information to realize the renewal of central computer with the Steam Ship Wharf place via the hard wired links interface that provides at this place when bus returns the station or at the train station.
Therefore, provide the CSC terminal to comprise that automatic freight charges collect computing machine of (AFC) system and the member in the electronic installation network according to the USM of Fig. 3, and need not cabling so as to being connected to.This has solved following three groups of problems:
1. introducing or the related work when handling the communication capacity of the safety requirements that the additional data volume that is associated and CSC processing follow with CSC of upgrading CSC terminal in order to solve,
2. whenever introducing or lay or lay again during mobile AFC terminal the spent effort of network cable (its often relate to the concrete of the subway platform that is operating is dug), and
With (for example may often to spend vehicle that time a couple of days gets to the station, bus) difficulty that the terminal implementation rule communication aspects in exists, be canned data in the CSC terminal on vehicle wherein to the traditional solution of described problem, and when vehicle turns back to the station, transmit described information, thereby can force extra data storage capacities requirement to the CSC terminal; This becomes the burden of the limited previous generation terminal of hardware capabilities.
USM provide with the carrying out of fixation of C SC terminal and mobile CSC terminal in communicate by letter, and need not to provide cable laying or other network facilities, and in this process, the on-board data storage capacity of CSC terminal is required to reduce to minimum.Simultaneously, the CSC terminal can continue to use its existing processing and storage capacity and existing communications facility thereof to handle magnetic ticket together with the CSC processing power that is added by USM.
" location " ability in the USM also can provide by modification for example shown in Figure 3.In this structure example, can be included in the USM with the locating module of gps receiver module 300C form.This kind USM has added the instrument in order to the home position in the gps coordinate of CSC terminal.CSC terminal in the vehicle that this instrument allows to advance along configurable route is along with the preceding of distance and then increase the post house automatically and/or change the area.To traditional solution of this problem be make mobile AFC equipment the operator along with the preceding of distance and then press " increase post house " button or add the external GPS subsystem.
All these instruments are at individual module, USM, interior association provide a self-sustaining platform (that is, and need not any extra backup facility and therefore can " bolt " platform to the existing AFC equipment), can on described platform, set up service enabler now.Therefore will understand, and be prepared by the self-sustaining platform of realization that is revised as that the structure of Fig. 3 provides, described platform provides platform message about its position with the member in overseas communication of USM:
Further expanding of USM to Fig. 3 introduced service enabler USM 400 as shown in Figure 4.This kind USM incorporates into the software that for example uses Java Virtual Machine (JVM) 400B to implement, and can carry out the AFC business rule with the Java code form on described JVM 400B.
Term " AFC business rule " comprises one group of algorithm and reference process, and this group algorithm and reference process (a) are carried out the data that retrieve from CSC; And (b) will write back the fresh information of CSC at trading time period through carrying out to set up.This type of business rule can be stored on the local cache that is provided by the specific business rules module 400A of project.Business rule comprises following aspect, for example:
1. " checking " processing (for example confirm that blocking identifier does not seize in the tabulation in cartoon, affirmation the balance of funding is a non-zero)
2. " selection " processing (for example assess the product group of preserving among the CSC, and be identified for the proper product of the transaction of execution soon)
" calculating " handle (for example determining the correct freight charges that should collect) according to get on the bus and get off post house and passenger's grade
4. " renewal " processing (for example determining to write back the new funds remaining sum of CSC) according to initial the balance of funding and the freight charges of collecting.
The business rule that this instrument allows use industrial standard programming language to encode and will carry out in the CSC terminal, therefore and no longer need specific business rule is imported to the multiple arrangement platform environment, and removed importing the potential difference of carrying out between active stage and translated necessary each test system overhead that is associated.
Once more, carrying out business rule in USM will be to requiring to reduce to minimum through upgrading with the storage and the processing power of the existing AFC equipment that adapts to smart card.
USM can carry out/not carry out interface 410 through further being configured to comprise.Carrying out/do not carry out interface module 410 provides USM and CSC terminal so as to transmitting the member of its operation " state ".For instance, the CSC terminal may be handled coin or bank note, and may wish to guarantee that USM just begins to handle CSC after having paid the correct amount of money.On the contrary, USM may handle CSC, and may wish to guarantee that railway gate barriers does just opens up to good authentication and after having handled CSC.Carry out/not carry out interface be bi-directional digital signaling assembly, it makes USM and host terminal thereof can coordinate its processing responsibility separately.Carrying out/do not carry out module is defined by application programs DLL (dynamic link library) (API) regulation.
According to the modification that the embodiment by Fig. 5 provides, incorporating into has service enabler.Service enabler USM is as the element of business rules infrastructure and realize that it is worth completely.Business rules infrastructure adopts two key components:
1. the service enabler USM that enables by java that above describes referring to Fig. 4; And
2. the USM management station 500 based on PC of enabling by java.
USM management station is equipped with third party JVM (Java Virtual Machine) 500A of easy acquisition, for example for PC hardware with operating system platform is known and those JVM of setting up.USM is assembled into and has set up high-performance JVM in the processor hardware of USM platform.Described two JVM all carry out reciprocation with the specific business rules module of project, and wherein the module 500B that provides in PC management station 500 is configured to realize writing the business rule software write with the Java form.Therefore, can in office environment, use USM management station based on PC, 500C disposes the smart card related service rule that all will be implemented in operating system with the use allocation engine, and then use test engine 500D tested described business rule before those the identical smart card related service rules that will carry out on the CSC terminal are provided to long-range USM 300.In case in the test environment that provides by PC management station 500, tested after the necessary rule, then just can will send one or more long-range USM (described version will use its particular items specific transactions engine 400A and JMV 400B to store and activate herein) to through the version of test fully, and be sure of that just will do not added variation ground at the code of accepting test in the USM management station downloads to move in the USM of CSC terminal via communication port 500F.This has eliminated following two problems:
But 1. business rule must be translated into the specific software embodiment of application program in the computing platform of each different CSC terminal, and
2. the embodiment of test service rule in each different terminals type of system independently.
To understand, structure of the present invention provides a plurality of advantages that are better than prior art.Incorporate the structure that USM is arranged into by providing, single unified standard member can be provided, by described member:
1. can have different technologies and internal data structure and the smart card relevant by shared logical interface handles with different transportation systems.
